Is that awesome or what?! Thanks Bob and silent Rob! I want to thank everyone for coming out last night and sweltering through record-breaking heat to watch another barn loss. I really thought the Nats were going to win through the first four innings. Michael Morse - two homeruns and a 5-1 lead! Who knew it would all fade away? You'd think I'd know by know no lead is ever completely safe. And please don't say the shout-out was the jinx, ... Continue Reading

After every called strike, called swing/no-swing, etc. they motioned from directly behind the plate dressed in full MLB umpire garb (complete with helmets/masks). They even had a little brush and would occasionally brush off the wall in front of them in a mimic ... Continue Reading

In conjunction with the iPhone 3.0 upgrade, MLB At Bat added live game video streaming. Woo! Of course, blackout restrictions apply just like online and the first thing the app does is check that you are not in a restricted area with a nice "Play ball!" approval message before handing you off. So I am trying it this very minute with the Cubs/Indians game in progress. (Cubs are getting killed by Jamey Carroll's newest team, btw): It even works over ... Continue Reading
